In this class we focus on theatre, but this article focuses on another art form: opera. I thought it was very interesting and inspiring that these four women overcame the stereotype that opera is dominated by men and run their own organization to showcase some highly rated performances. They are breaking the stereotype that there are only white male composers. They also are trying to get youngest artists' works to be featured because they incorporate very relevant material to today's society.
